Virtual Reality

HKT education pioneers VR technology in schools

Google Cardboard Pro

HKT education’s VR plan enables students to visit distant locations and interact with all kinds of entities and items in a virtual world.

Students can tour museums, historical sites, art galleries and exhibitions – or visit the North Pole for close encounters with wildlife and explore the human body.

Immersive learning experience

VR can overcome the kind of time and location barriers posed by busy schedules in mainstream schools, thereby making impractical field trips possible.

Visualizing complex and abstract learning concepts

Complex graphics and arithmetic can be explained through virtual reality, giving rise to clearer understanding among students. For example, items such as DNA, anatomy, geography and ecosystems can be illustrated in three-dimensional clarity.

Stimulating student creativity

Interactive learning generates an appetite for learning and creativity among students, as well as enthusiasm for researching new technologies and other topics.
